Join us for an intimate artist talk with Kelvin Okafor as he explores the profound philosophy behind his "Emotional Realism." Renowned for pencil portraits that transcend technical hyperrealism, Okafor will discuss his meticulous process of capturing the soul and character of his subjects through hundreds of hours of devotion. From his early days in Tottenham to having his work displayed in the House of Commons, Kelvin will share how his art serves as a bridge for empathy, particularly through his recent focus on celebrating skin diversity and human vulnerability. It is a rare opportunity to hear from an artist who uses the humble pencil to reveal the extraordinary depth of the human spirit.
